I also went for a run on august 6th this year and on the 22nd of november 1963.

All these things happened as a direct result of my running, this much is obvious. I don't know how my legs are linked to the politics of the US, but I hope to understand my powers some day soon. Also Chris Dorner was briefly resurrected when I hit the gym last week (they found his gun). It seems my thighs quench life and my biceps bring it forth.

Last time I went for a long run (managed to be my longest yet at 13k!) This time I am going for a short 5k. I hope to be able to do it in under 22 minutes (when I was at my peak I could do it just under 18 minutes!) We will see if it is time, distance or speed that determines this.

He pioneered daytime talk shows and his was the first to include audience participation in the late 1960s with The Phil Donahue Show. I didn't know about this but he did a series of Citizens' Summits with the USSR, which seems like a good thing since the NYTimes hates it in that link.

Maybe not that bad a guy, just the only newsworthy thing announced since your run when I looked.
